| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, September 9, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of |
| 0:11.9 | news and events from a Christian worldview. We are living in a time of clashing worldviews. |
| 0:17.8 | I think most Americans understand that. Most Christians understand that. Most people around the world understand that. The clash of worldviews. I think most Americans understand that. Most Christians understand that. |
| 0:21.1 | Most people around the world understand that. The clash of worldviews itself is not new. |
| 0:26.5 | What is new is the urgency with which this clash is now arriving on the cultural landscape. |
| 0:32.0 | This used to be something that was background noise for most people in society. Now it is |
| 0:36.9 | frontline news. And it's unavoidable. |
| 0:39.3 | I want us to look back last week to several illustrations of how unavoidable this worldview |
| 0:45.0 | conflict is. I had the opportunity last week to deliver a plenary address to the National |

| 1:25.6 | Now, I want to point to this clash of worldviews by citing an economist, Thomas |
| 1:30.0 | Seoul. Years ago, about 1987, he wrote a book entitled The Conflict of Visions, I think it's one of |
| 1:36.1 | the most important books of the 20th century, frankly. And in that book, he argues about a conflict |
| 1:41.9 | of visions. He means a conflict of worldviews. His word vision is a |
| 1:46.1 | stand-in for what we would refer to as a worldview. And he, trying to explain his own times, |
| 1:51.4 | said very wisely that the clash or the conflict of visions, he described it as being a clash |
| 1:57.2 | between a constrained vision and an unconstrained vision. Now, this has a lot to do with |
| 2:03.2 | the human's place in the cosmos. Are human beings constrained or unconstrained? This is truly |
